Brontë Country should benefit from a marketing campaign designed to raise the profile of Pennine Yorkshire, according to Jackie Bennett, of Bradford Council's tourism department.
She said this was a joint project between Bradford, Kirklees and Calderdale councils, which would also take in Hebden Bridge, Holmfirth, Ilkley and Wharfedale.
She said brochures had been printed and distributed and a new website — pennineyorkshire.com — would be launched early next month.
l Mr Mitchell said travel journalists visiting Brontë Country must be kept informed about the area’s public transport.
He was responding to Ms Bennett’s report on recent media interest in the region.
She said a freelance journalist was visiting Haworth for an item on the Brontës for Sky Travel.
In addition to this, she said 12 journalists had visited the village last month as part of the British Guild of Travel Writers annual meeting. Mr Mitchell said these journalists needed to know it was possible to visit Haworth by leaving cars in Keighley, then taking the bus. He said cutting down on the number of cars travelling around made good sense.
